MCA Takes On The X-Men by Steven Howard

I am still having a hard time dealing with the fact that MCA of the Beastie Boys is dead and gone. It is just such a crushing blow to my childhood, and I regret not being able to see the Boys in concert ever again. But things like this comic strip celebrate his life and make missing him a bit easier. Artist Steven Howard depicts MCA in a very "Fight For Your Rights" moment with two of the most famous X-Men, Cyclops & Wolverine. These guys are not to be trifled with, but MCA lets em have it Beastie style!!! Check out the full comic strip after the jump...
